Which country celebrates the New Year first and last?

Which country is the first to celebrate new year and which one is the last?

Answer #1

According to this website: http://www.timeanddate.com/counters/firstnewyear.html,

The first is actually Kiritimati (Christmas Islands). 15 minutes later is New Zealand, which is more well-known.

The last is technically Samoa, with Hawaii being second-to-last.

Hope that helps.

Answer #2

It is all based on time zones, however of a calendar time frame, the last would be China. As for the first, I am still researching that.

Answer #3

New Zealand
